11:01 pm
in the third place play off. in the women's final at wimbledon, it wasn't to be for serena williams. she missed out on her 24th grand slam, losing 2—0 to the german angelique kerber. and coming up, a look at the stories on the front pages tomorrow in the papers at 11:30. donald trump's uk visit has prompted more protests, this time in scotland where the president has been taking time off, playing golf at his resort in ayrshire. the international trade secretary liam fox has described those who've turned out to demonstrate against mr trump as an "embarrassment to themselves."
11:02 pm
but scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon publicly criticised the president's policies on climate change, minorities and "the treatment of women." from mr trump's turnberry resort, lorna gordon reports. this has been described as a private visit to scotland, but president trump is not publicity shy. making his way around the turnberry fairways, acknowledging the waiting media and protesters. donald trump the businessman owns two golf courses in scotland. donald trump the president calls his ayrshire resort "magical". president trump has described his trip to turnberry as "two days of meetings, calls, and hopefully some golf." he has managed to play a round, but it's not been entirely relaxing — protesters getting close to the course. demonstrations too in scotland's capital, where many thousands took
11:03 pm
to the streets of edinburgh. we don't agree, he doesn't have a special relationship our right to protest. he is a cruel, horrible man, and as an american i should speak out. this is now the third day of protests. not impressed, says the minister hoping to cut a deal with the us after brexit. i don't think that the protesters were an embarrassment to the government, i think they were an embarrassment to themselves. and i think when you have the president of united states, the leader of the free world, greeted with signs that say, "go home, we hate you", i don't think that reflects the genuine good manners and hospitality of the british people. hello, glasgow! the diplomacy seemingly strained at other points, too. it has been reported that donald trump has said he hates scotland's first minister,
11:04 pm
nicola sturgeon. addressing a pride march in glasgow, she said it is the policies, not personality, that matter. many people in scotland and across the uk, and we've seen that over the last couple of days, take strong objection to some of the policies of the trump administration — the treatment of minorities and women, or most importantly, the separation of migrant children from their parents, and i think it's important that we don't have diplomatic silences around those things, but we all have the ability to speak out. last night's security breach by a greenpeace campaigner who got close to donald trump is being investigated. security here is very visible and tight — until the president leaves for helsinki tomorrow. lorna gordon, bbc news at turnberry in ayrshire. our north america correspondent, james cook, has been telling ros atkins whether we're any clearer about a potential trade agreement between britain and the united states. well, as is quite often the case
11:05 pm
with president trump, we have been marched up the hill and marched down again. we had the interview with the sun in which he suggested the prospects for a trade deal after brexit had been killed because of theresa may's plan for brexit. i think he nub of —— of that is the problem for the americans that the uk, under her plan, would maintain eu regulations and standards, and the americans don't want that because they want to apply their regulations, plus opening up trade for more goods they can send to the uk. -- for more goods they can send to the uk. —— thus. but in truth, although the rhetoric has changed, that problem remains, so i don't think we've moved too far at all. that is the number one issue from a uk perspective. on a global level, arguably be meeting with putin on monday is the biggest event of this
11:06 pm
trip. we are hearing it looks like there will be a joint press conference? that's right. that is what we expected would happen and it's now seems we are moving towards the vladimir putin and donald trump show in helsinki, when the pair meet there. for the us media, really, frankly, although for president trump the meeting with the queen and his image of the queen was successful, this has been a warmup act, really, ahead of the big meeting. partly because of the investigations into alleged collusion between the trump team and russia, and partly because of the wider geopolitical issue and the seriousness of it, crimea being the big example that some nato allies are very worried about, russia's illegal annexation of crimea. will president trump move towards in some way being soft on that? we will see. he is inconsistent in some ways but he is certainly consistent in his hostility towards the media. he loves us! he has a strange way of
11:07 pm
showing us if he does. he is particularly hostile to networks in the us lexia name, nbc in particular. you spent a couple of daysin particular. you spent a couple of days in the company of these men and women. i wonder whether the hostility feels real or if when you sit up close it is more of a pantomime? i think it swings between both. at some point it feels like a pantomime, but then journalists become genuinely frustrated because they feel it is affecting their ability to do theirjob and barely tell the story of this presidency, because he will not, for example, ta ke because he will not, for example, take a question from cnn at the news conference. they are a major network, you know? that is a problem for them. then there was the to and for them. then there was the to and for a with tom newton dunn at the sun, who conducted the interview. what was interesting about that was that the president saying that an interview for which the tape had been published already was fake news. why does he do that when you can easily prove that it isn't fake news? he does that because his
11:08 pm
supporters are crime probably won't read the sun and willjust hear the message, the news is all lies, don't believe what you hear. it helps deflect criticism. the 12 boys and their football coach who were rescued from a cave complex in thailand are to leave hospital on thursday, when they'll be reunited with theirfamilies. the father of one of the boys, who's the team captain, has told the bbc the team had feared for their lives, and he is looking forward to hugging his son. martin patience reports. they're arguably the world's most famous football team. the latest pictures from hospital where the boys are building up their strength. this player wants to eat crispy pork and fried rice. another boy is after some sushi, and a third wants a kfc. thank you so much. after the darkness of the cave, they now have the light to draw. one of those recovering is 13—year—old dom. his father has spoken
11:09 pm
exclusively to the bbc. translation: he said it was an enormous struggle inside the cave. it was of course dark, and there was no food. they drank the water dripping from the roof of the cave. the coach got them to meditate every day. it created a tight group, and they all stayed together. they must have feared that they were going to die in that cave. yes, because children are not like adults and cannot control their emotions in the same way. in the darkness, some of them must have been crying. i think many were afraid of the dark. what is the first thing he wants to do when he gets out of hospital? when he comes out, i want to hug him and tell him that i love him very much. and we need to celebrate his birthday and have hot pork for him, because that's what he will want to eat and to have a cake, a big cake so that he's happy. and dom will not have to wait long for that belated birthday. officials say the boys will be out
11:10 pm
of hospital in a few days. martin patience, bbc news, thailand. palestinian officials say israel and militant groups in gaza have agreed a ceasefire. the announcement came after the israeli air force carried out its biggest attack against targets in the gaza strip since the last war there four years ago. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the raids were in response to a wave of rocket and mortar attacks. there's a new warning tonight from theresa may to her own conservative mps not to put the government's plans for brexit at risk. she's appealing for them to back her in key votes in the house of commons in the coming week. our political correspondent iain watson has been giving us more details. basically some long—standing leave
11:11 pm
campaigners are unhappy with her brexit plan, her white paper, so they are trained to scupper key elements of it by trying to change legislation in the house of commons next week. writing in the mail on sunday she is warning them that if they do so and do not get behind the plan, they risk a disorderly brexit, or as she puts it, possibly risk brexit itself. the mail on sunday splashed it on the front page, back me or there will be no brexit. tough words from the prime minister for some of the long will set —— long—standing brexiteers but also tough words for the remain as who wa nts to tough words for the remain as who wants to stay in the customs union british she says that would be a betrayal of brexit. there is another ministerial resignation tonight, andrew griffiths, the business minister, has resigned because partly, according to the papers, he sent a rather large number of text m essa 9 es sent a rather large number of text m essa g es of sent a rather large number of text messages of a sexual nature to some of his constituents. i think the prime minister will be relieved tonight that this is one resignation which appears to have nothing to do
11:12 pm
with brexit, and i think she will have to be as relaxed as she can for a very challenging week ahead. the former sinn fein president, gerry adams, has appealed for those who carried out an attack on his home in west belfast to meet him. an explosive device was thrown at the house last night. it follows several nights of rioting in londonderry, which police have blamed on dissident republicans. our ireland correspondent chris page reports. people in northern ireland had hoped these scenes had disappeared from their streets. but in the last week, there's been an unwelcome reminder that paramilitary violence has not ended. in londonderry, there were six nights of trouble in the bogside area. police blamed dissident republicans who are opposed to the peace process. sinn fein condemned the rioting, and this may have been the retaliation for that — an explosive device, made up of large fireworks, was thrown at the home of the party's former leader, gerry adams. he appealed for calm
11:13 pm
and had a message for those who targeted him. i'd like them or their representatives to come and meet me. i'd like them to sit down and explain to me what this is about. i'd like those who are involved in exploiting children in derry to do the same thing. a similar device was thrown at the house of bobby storey, one of mr adams's closest allies. he's a former ira prisoner who is also a senior senior sinn fein member. sinn fein dominates irish republicanism. the party has greatly increased its electoral strength during the peace process. but there's a small minority of republicans who still think the ira should never have called a ceasefire, and they‘ re hostile towards sinn fein's political strategy. dangerous disorder is much less common here than it used to be, but sudden outbreaks showed that peace building isn't complete yet. chris page, bbc news, belfast. the headlines on bbc news:

president trump's visit to the uk continues as he plays a round of golf at turnberry, as thousands take to the streets to protest against his visit. writing in the mail on sunday, theresa may has warned conservative mps that they are putting brexit at risk if they don't back her plan for withdrawing from the eu. the boys rescued from a cave in thailand will be allowed to leave hospital later this week. sport, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's james pierce. good evening. angelique kerber has won herfirst good evening. angelique kerber has won her first wimbledon title, beating seven time champion serena williams in the final. williams, playing in only her fourth tournament since becoming a mother, started the match as favourite, but she was outplayed by the german 6—3, 6-3. she was outplayed by the german 6—3, 6—3. earlier, novak djokovic beat
11:15 pm
rafael nadal10—8 in the 6—3. earlier, novak djokovic beat rafael nadal 10—8 in the final set to reach tomorrow's men's final. serena williams is a superstar. she has unique status across society and sport. lewis hamilton and tiger woods sat with her camp today. on court, angelique kerber outplayed her. first set, 6—3. serena williams was strangely tentative, whereas kerber was definite. maybe this big occasion came too early in serena williams' comeback, but credit to kerber. she maintained her poise and profited from errors. still, nobody really expected kerber to win in just 65 minutes. not even her. i knew that i had to play my best tennis against a champion, and it is a lwa ys tennis against a champion, and it is always an honour for me to share a court with her. to all the mothers out there, i tried today, but... you

11:17 pm
a reminder ofjust how close you came to the main event. but for england, this was at least a chance to end a stirring campaign on a high. they say no—one remembers who finishes third at the world cup. but belgium's hunger was immediately apparent — less than four minutes gone when thomas meunier stole in. despite still being the tournament's top scorer, harry kane had failed to find the net in his last two matches, and here again it wasn't quite happening. eric dier then denied by a desperate goal—line clearance from tottenham team—mate toby alderweireld, as england improved. a brilliant belgian counterattack then ended with thomas meunier bringing the best out ofjordan pickford. great save byjordan pickford! but there was nothing he could do when eden hazard glided past philjones to cap a fine performance. despite the progress, england's world cup ending with back—to—back defeats. it was a really difficult challenge, probably a step too far for us. i reflect that the players have given absolutely everything right the way through. i'm incredibly proud of what they've done.
11:18 pm
i think we've gone beyond what we thought was probably possible, and we also know where we sit, you know, we're a little bit off the top four or five teams in the world, and we've never hidden from that, really. this result shows there's still work to be done, but as england prepare to travel home, they'll reflect on their great russian adventure with a mixture of and frustration. they've exceeded all expectations here, but a wonderful opportunity to reach the world cup final passed them by. but having said that, this team is revived, it's reconnected with the footballing public, and maybe in the end that was the biggest result of all. dan roan, bbc news, in st petersburg. england's cricketers have taken their three match one day series against india to a decider after winning the second match by 86 runs at lord's. joe root returns to form with a century. david willey hit 50 from 31 balls as england made 322—7.
11:19 pm
india slipped to 60— three in reply and despite the best efforts of captain virat kohli, who made a5, they were eventually all out for 236. the biggest thing for me today was the skill level, and our basics. a lot higher than in the previous game. that is able to take from this international, particularly given the way we played at trent bridge. i thought we bounced back beautifully. dillon grondin vegan one stage eight of the tour de france, second in a row this year after a sprint in amiens. the dutch rider was first across the finish line, with fernando gaviria at later regulated for a regular sprinting. a crash 11 kilometres from the line of seven of the overall contenders losing around a minute. title rival greg van avermaet maintains the ledger as if. —— yellow jersey. and avermaet maintains the ledger as if. —— yellowjersey. and that's all of the sport for now.

journalists as he boarded a flight heading to lahore. he knew that when heading to lahore. he knew that when he landed he would be arrested. heading to lahore. he knew that when he landed he would be arrestedlj know that i will be going straight to the jail. of course, this is the struggle for the restoration of democracy in pakistan, for the restoration of the sanctity of the vote and i am prepared to pay any price for that. sharif's supporters claim the real reason he was convicted is because the pakistani army want him out of power ahead of the elections. defying roadblocks, cuts to mobile phone service and be emptied arrests, thousands turned out in lahore to welcome him. —— pre—emptive arrests. out in lahore to welcome him. —— pre-emptive arrests. the decision is not correct. the mlm is going to win the election with a more majority. in the end, sharif's arrival was

overshadowed by a huge suicide on the net and unconnected political rally in the western province of baluchistan. the buildup to the elections becoming increasingly fraught. landing in lahore, he and his daughter were surrounded by security officials, waiting to fly them to a jail in robbing the. for some, no street is a corrupt politician, finally being punished. —— nawaz sharif. for others, he is a political martyr. how the majority of the country view him will play a large part in determining the elections. an iceberg the size of a hill has drifted close to a small village on the western coast of greenland, prompting fears that waves could overwhelm homes there. the village, which has around 170 residents, has been partially evacuated. it's feared the iceberg could break apart, with waves flooding the coastline. earlier, kenneth elkjaar from the greenland broadcaster knr said the movements of the iceberg were up in the air. right now, the situation is that
11:23 pm
everybody is waiting to see where the iceberg is going. the wind is controlling the situation right now. yesterday, it moved a bit towards the north because of the wind and high tides, and that was a good thing for the village, because it moved away. but this afternoon the wind is supposed to change in the other direction, so the iceberg could go back to the original position, thereby being a threat again to the village. so right now everybody is waiting to see how it's going and where the iceberg is moving. the joint arctic command in greenland has sent one of their vessels up there. they are monitoring the situation with the local authorities. but, i have to say, it's quite far away from everything up here. it's 1000 kilometres from nuuk and it's quite remote. so, well, we have to see what happened up there, and the locals are very
11:24 pm
important in this. they tell the police and local laboratories how they see it, and yeah. —— local authorities. yeah, it's quite unique that the iceberg is staying where it is. they are used to icebergs floating by all year round, almost, especially in northern greenland, this one is very big. the locals describe it as the biggest one they've ever seen so close to the village. for some days this week, it was stuck and yesterday it moved a bit, but it's still laying very close to the village, which makes it unique, that it stopped moving by. the uk's newest polar research ship, the sir david attenborough, has been launched on merseyside. the name was chosen for the largest commercial ship built in britain for three decades after ministers rejected a public vote for boaty mcboatface. our science correspondent victoria gill watched the launch. three, two, one, launch.
11:25 pm
years of work and one momentous splash — as britain's newest polar research ship floats for the very first time in the river mersey, the man whose name it now bears considers the role the vessel will play in polar science. it's only in recent years that we've discovered how dangerous plastic is. before that, we didn't really understand about cfcs and the problems of what it was doing to the atmosphere and the ozone layer. and so what this ship will be discovering is not only solutions but revealing problems to which i hope it will find the solutions. while she's not the biggest vessel built here on the mersey, this ship will be a unique place for researchers to work. we'll have the labs, mostly aft, cabin areas, and then this little bit in between which has got a coffee shop, there's a gym and a sauna just forward. nice!
11:26 pm
yeah. as well as labs and living quarters, the vessel has giant freezers to keep safe scientific samples from the polar extremes of our planet. now that all 10,000 tonnes of her hull is in the water for the first time, there is actually still plenty of work to do. there's a whole accommodation block to be lifted onto the ship. but once that is done, she'll be ready to head to some of the most remote corners of our planet. this is how the ship will look when the real exploration starts. trials in the ice of arctic waters will begin next spring. from then on, the sir david attenborough will spend 25 years as a base for polar discoveries that are yet to be made. victoria gill, bbc news, birkenhead. now it's time for a look at the weather. a lovely start to the weekend for many parts of the uk, unless you are wanting rain on the garden. yet another dry day for most places. temperatures 30 in london and
